The idea of the Vermont Challenge was hatched back in July of 2011 while riding the Tour De Bondville with Sky Foulkes, the General Manager of Stratton Resort and Michael Cobb, Director of Marketing at Stratton. Sky and I discussed how riding in the Southern and Central parts Vermont was our hidden gem and that we needed a way to open our experiences to the greater bicycling community. With Sky's backing we presented our idea to Megan Smith the Director of Tourism for the State of Vermont. She absolutely loved the idea and stated she and the State would support our idea and the Vermont Challenge was born!

We plan to use this space and our blog to keep you constantly updated to our progress and as we sign up key sponsors, so please check back on regular basis.
